"It's like a really s*** episode of Mr and Mrs" - Aasmah Mir and Stig Abell
This week on Macdonald, a special episode of the HUGE new podcast from CalumAM. (Navigate to your favourite time codes with the Running Order below)
Times Radio friends, colleagues and superstars Aasmah Mir and Stig Abell join for a chat about the station that Stig is *technically* one of the bosses of, what it means to "make it", and, of course, some unplanned, unscripted nonsense, as you hear every morning at 5:55am in "The Handover" between Calum's Early Breakfast programme, and Aasmah and Stig with Times Radio Breakfast. We talk about what it was like to interview the Prime Minister on day one of the station, the fact that Aasmah and Stig hadn't had much chance to spend time with one another in the studio, and there's even a bit of a love-in and lots of compliments.
They are the royal couple, arguably the nation's sweethearts, and now they're on Macdonald.
Today's Running Order:
00:00 - The Cold Open
01:23 - The First Bit
03:23 - Reviewing Your Reviews (including a song at 04:20)

#0: Welcome to Macdonald
Welcome to Macdonald, the CalumAM podcast. Once upon a time, I decided that I enjoy making stuff too much to not make a podcast. So here we go with, Macdonald...
This is about us taking time out to spend with one another, to take it easy, to listen, to relax, to step back a bit from the franticness of life. We're going to take some time to speak to some interesting people, and hear them saying interesting things...
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to listen. Please subscribe, please be part of the fun - and please email anytime: macdonald@calumam.com - I promise to read every, single message.
Lots more to come,
Calum

Fan-girling Lorraine Kelly and getting fit after lockdown
Published 25 Mar 2021 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Okay, I don't want to say lose weight because I think that can be unhelpful. I don't want to say I don't want to describe it in kind of like going on a diet because that sometimes has slightly weird connotations as well. So actually, my ambition is to get fitter, be happier and genuinely it is to wobble less. Do you think I'm framing my fitness campaign in a suitable way? Yeah, I definitely do. And you're absolutely spot on about what you say about weight and diet.
